PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Frogs are found throughout the world except in very cold places. They are most common in rain forests. Frogs have glands in their skin that make poison. But this poison does not protect them from snakes, birds, and other enemies. Instead, frogs most often protect themselves by blending in with their surroundings. A frog goes through four stages of life. It changes and grows at each stage. Frogs usually lay their eggs in water. There can be hundreds or thousands of eggs. Within a few weeks the eggs hatch into tadpoles. Tadpoles are fishlike creatures that breathe through gills instead of lungs. To become an adult frog, a tadpole loses its tail and develops lungs and limbs. In this unit, students learn the stages in a frog's life cycle by building each stage (egg, tadpole, etc) with candy and snack items.
WHAT'S INSIDE:
This download comes with a detailed lesson plan and a supply list to gather your materials. Also included is a pdf of the 9x12 Frog Life Cycle activity board (if you wish to purchase pre-printed Frog Life Cycle Boards, we can also print and ship them fairly quickly. We recommend buying materials at least 5-7 days before your class and to plan about 3-4 hours of prep depending on the size of your class.
This activity supports the following Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and Common Core standards.
